"ROUND 1: The always fun Santos opened the fight with a lead hook kick that barely missed. Yoo's comfort in the striking department was evident. He was varying his attacks and consistently landing his jab. Just as the Korean started showboating, Santos landed a takedown, but that didn't stop Yoo from entertaining the crowd, pretending to fall asleep. After Yoo got back to his feet, Santos feinted another takedown attempt to hide an overhand right."
"ROUND 2: Santos put on the pressure right away to start the second round. Wanting to make the Korean pay for keeping his hands low, he landed a clean left hand off a switch combination that floored Yoo. The following ground-and-pound shots forced Herb Dean to step in and put an end to the contest. After dropping his promotional debut in April of 2022, "Willycat" has now won four straight."
